NFL stadiums could face $11 billion in climate-related losses by 2050, report says

A new report from Climate X estimates that NFL stadiums could face $11 billion in climate-related losses by 2050. This includes risks from flooding, wildfires, and storm surges, with MetLife Stadium projected to incur the highest losses. Hurricane Milton has severely damaged Tropicana Field in Tampa, prompting the Tampa Bay Rays to seek a new venue for the upcoming season. Many stadiums, including those for baseball and football, are increasingly vulnerable due to their locations. Some teams are addressing climate risks with sustainable practices. Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas operated on renewable energy during the Super Bowl, while Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta has reduced electricity usage by 29%.
